NOTE: Yes, the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack made the list … a lot.

If you had a black mom in the in the 90s you already have most of these songs memorized. You had no choice in the matter, they were pounded into your brain and soul courtesy of plastic CD organizers or, if she was fancy, a grocery bag-mangled cd changer in the trunk.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day.
